Chapter Two: Dinner and a movie

"That was really great, you could cook really well!" Misty commented as she lightly brushed her lips with a napkin.

"Thanks, living with my mom did give its advantages."

Tonight, Ash cooked Misty chicken brochettes with rice and cooked vegetables.

Misty looked around; Ash's condo was really classy. His living room was painted beige, and his furniture was chocolate brown, his TV was hung against the wall, he also had an electronic fireplace. His kitchen was modern; it was dark brown and his appliances were stainless steel. She felt like she was in an Ikea catalogue.

"You have such a nice place, you are so lucky!"

"Thanks Misty," Ash gave her a friendly smile and then finished his drink, "would you like to watch a movie?"

"Sure." She said as she got up, "I'll clean up, you pick the movie."

"Uh, I don't think so. You are the guest sit down I'll get it."

"Or, you could choose the movie. You treated me, I'll clean up." Misty was a stubborn one, and Ash knew this very well. "Fine, what's your preference?"

"Any, seriously, you pick."

"Fine." Ash went to his DVD collection and looked through movies till he decided on one and put it in the DVD player.

They both sat on the couch awkwardly. Towards the middle of the movie, Misty took a chance, got closer to Ash and rested her head on his chest. Ash didn't know what to do so he awkwardly did what the movies told him he should do, and he put his arm over her shoulder. Misty was definitely freaking out, he was responding to her move with another move. Oh my gosh! He has his arm around me, yay! Don't move or he'll think you don't like it and he'll take it off, this is so awesome!

When the movie ended, none of them moved. After five minutes Misty lifted her head from Ash's chest and proceeded to speak, "Hey-y Ash-h, uh- can I tell you something?"

"Sure Misty." He removed his arm from her shoulders. Dammit.

"Well uh-" she looked down, I should have kept my mouth shut. "-Can I spend the night over I mean with it being 11:00 and all. It'll take me a while to get back, and- well I guess I'm scared to be in the city alone at night."

"Yeah, sure Misty you could stay the night, I have a guest room, it'll be fine."

"Uh, thanks."

"No pro-"

"-Ash I like you." She put her hand in front of her mouth and she looked down in embarrassment.

Ash was speechless.

Misty took that silence as a bad thing. "Ash, I'm so sorry, it didn't mean to come out like that; so bluntly."

Ash was still unable to put his thoughts into words.

Shit. "… I'll go now." Misty stood up from the couch to leave, but as she walked away she felt a tug on her hand and looked back, Ash's hand held tightly onto hers, "Ash?"

"Misty," he was looking down, slightly blushing, "you've been the person who stood by me for years. And when we weren't together we would speak for hours on end over the video phone at least once every week." Ash got up and looked at Misty, "Misty, there is a reason why I would spend so much time with you. I was disappointed because I wasn't sure how you felt and thought that the feelings I wanted in return were only wishful." Ash paused, "what I'm trying to say, in simpler words, is I like you too."

"Really Ash?" her eyes glowing with hope, "Do you mean it?"

"I do," he said as he kissed her forehead.

"Really, Ash?" she laughed. Ash was confused, and then surprised when she put her hands behind his neck and pulled him closer to her for a kiss.
